    Air draining out from the shifter boot?

    Has anyone encountered this problem? I have a M818, which comes with a Spicer 6453 OD transmission. While tracking down air leaks with soapy water, I noticed a BIG air leak today. The truck couldn't build air pressure above 30 psi because it kept dumping everything out in the transmission via...

    Remote power steering filter

    Here is my "last spin" filter conversion. This involves a 3/16" thick steel plate cut and drilled to fit on the inside, driver side fender below the power steering pump. I used fender washers on all points where the plate steel is bolted to the sheet metal. You can barely see them in the last...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today, I replaced my batteries with 2 new 8D-6 batteries, made a triple ought gauge cable to connect the two, and I've installed one of those Keyed ignition switches. I also found 2 loose/worn out wire connectors going to the ignition switch. Those loose wires are now on my "next to do list"...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Tell me about it Tinstar. I bought my truck from a guy who thought it was indestructible. When he found out it wasn't, after doing the damage to it, he then sold it. Now I'm fixing more and more of the truck, than I am doing overdue maintenance. I'm now convinced he tried to ford the...

    Are Runflats worth trying to save???

    I'm not an adrenalin junky. It's no fun for me. I'm going to keep my run flats for now.

    Are Runflats worth trying to save???

    Take this lesson from a guy who's had a steer tire blow out at 65 MPH. I drive a drayage rig around Memphis. Having a steer tire blow is bad news. If you don't want to keep the run flats in the rear, I don't see any problem with that, but KEEP them in the front!! When these military tires blow...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    I too would like to see the failed one. When that one did fail, did it separate and allow the dog bone and axle to move out it's alignment the way a stock one would? I'm curious about this.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My catch tank is a 7.75 gallon pony keg with a very large funnel. It used to be a fuel cell for a sand rail. It's what I had on hand so I didn't have to spend any extra money, but it was still funny to me when the plug popped out. It happened Soooo fast, and A LOT of oil poured out on him. LOL

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I ended up getting a new drain plug too. Mine was worn out! It took a pneumatic impact, a 2 foot long pipe wrench, and a propane torch to take mine out when I changed the oil. On the plus side, I learned some new curse words when the plug came out (thankx to the impact). LOL roflMy Father was...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    I would feel better about this upgrade if I could see an exploded view of these torque rod ends. I would like to know how they are put together. It would be a shame if they are just pressed together. Other than that, it looks like a good.

    I'm going to run a full virus and malware scan and shutdown for the night. Hopefully it's something simple.

    What happened to the site - Site shows mobile view (Internet Explorer)

    What has happened tot he site? There is no logo, no search feature, and it's almost impossible to navigate. In the top right hand corner there is a Letter V, then the word Bulletin. On the right there is a calculator that does nothing, and a magnifying glass that does nothing. What is going on?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My Father and were just talking about that. I was thinking of maybe switching down a tire size or two. Maybe down to the 14.00r20's, or maybe down to 395/85R20 Michelin XZL's. Anyways that won't be happening anytime soon unless I come across a VEERY good deal on some tires, and or wheels.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Those are two of my favorite colors too. I couldn't get a new fuel hose made today, but I got the filters mounted anyways. I had to get an adapter to fit the original fittings, and these adapters increased the width by another 2 inches. I can see new adapters in the future to reduce the overall...
